James 2:14-18 ESV / 148 helpful votes What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years. Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the Lord your God disciplines you.

You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
